Chapter 28: Southbound
Back at the thief's door, Zhang San put the necklace and pendant without a prescription in front of Wu Liang, and Wu Liang showed a look of approval.
"You are also out of school, Qing'er has also gone down the mountain to do tasks, I am completely old!" Wu Liang sighed.
Senior brother Tian Boguang and junior sister Wu Qing are not on the mountain, Zhang San is a little empty, at this moment I heard Wu Liang say that he is old, he also has a little bad taste in his heart, the master is cold and hot to himself, and he is not sure what Wu Liang's mentality is, whether he regards himself as his own son as he said.
Zhang San's own feeling is ice and fire, sometimes Wu Liang eagerly makes him want to cry, and sometimes it is cold and makes him scold his mother in his heart. However, after discovering what happened to Shi Niang and Xu Hui, he had a trace of sympathy in his heart, master, it was not easy.
"How do you feel?" Wu Liang, who had just finished sighing, suddenly asked mysteriously.
"What's going on?" Zhang San wondered.
"The prefect's chick!" Wu Liang said with a dry smile.
Zhang San's face darkened, although Wu Liang was also a romantic guy, and his senior brother Tian Boguang inherited most of his obscenities, but in front of Zhang San and Wu Qing, Wu Liang was always an elder, and he had never discussed such a problem.
Zhang San didn't know how to answer, especially because he didn't succeed at all.
"It's okay. Zhang San said embarrassedly.
"How many times?" Wu Liang continued to get to the bottom of it.
"One... Twice!" Zhang San said.
Wu Liang shook his head, "No, when I want my master to become a teacher, it was a female disciple of the Kunlun faction, and it was a whole night..."
Zhang Sanxin said: "So now the senior lady has found Elder Xu. ”
But he didn't dare to say it.
After reminiscing, Wu Liang put away the necklace on the table and said: "Three days later, when the palace is opened to offer incense, you will officially be stolen, and you will be passed on to the myriad of changes." ”
"Master!" Zhang San still couldn't help it, and asked, "Are you asking me to find the prefect's daughter or just for this necklace." ”
"What do you mean by this? Is there anything special about the necklace?" Wu Liang took out the necklace in his arms again, he was older than Zhang San, and soon saw that the pendant was greasy, took out a black hair like a pig's bristle, poked it, opened it, and was empty.
Wu Liang looked at Zhang San with inquiring eyes.
Zhang San didn't hide it, and told the story from beginning to end.
Wu Liang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said: "At that time, your task of leaving the master was personally ordered by the head of Chu, saying that you are a talent, but I have quietly heard Xu Hui and the head suggest before, it seems that he took the benefits of Baoshengtang." ”
"But this matter ends here, no one dares to say anything about the Ming plank road, even if the task is completed, you will not know anything in the future, and Fujian will not be able to go. ”
"Why? I promised Miss Lu. Zhang San was unconvinced.
"Nonsense, Lin Baosheng is easy to provoke, you went to Fujian, ten lives are not enough. Wu Liang flicked his sleeves.
Zhang San was kicked out of the master's house, but he was sullen, and he didn't want to lose his trust.
...
The opening of the door is still relatively serious, all the people on the mountain participated, the deputy head Chu Yuntian personally presided over it, the elders were in the hall, the disciples stood in His Royal Highness, and Zhang San knelt in the middle, listening to the head of the door reading the door rules.
Zhang San went up the mountain at the age of five, this hall has been to countless times, and he knows which corner has ash, but this time the mood is different from the past, some excitement and some nervousness, although he was a thief in the past, he was a disciple of Wu Liang, not an official thief.
As soon as he enters the stolen nationality, he will be a thief for life, and the seventy-two rules of the big and small doors must be kept in mind, and Tian Boguang and Wu Liang have been in front of him to do everything in the past, but from now on, he will be equivalent to independence, and he must be responsible for his words and deeds, and no one can shelter him, and his heart has inexplicably added a little heaviness.
What he saw and heard from the beginning of his sensibility was stealing, knowing that this day was coming sooner or later, and he used to often yearn for this day to come early, so that he no longer had to be constrained by Wu Liang, but when this day really came, Zhang San had an indescribable feeling.
For the Mengshan family, Zhang San knows the roots, unlike a halfway monk who has to be audited a lot, so the ceremony was held quickly. After putting three sticks of incense in front of the statue of the ancestor thief, Zhang San became an official naturalized disciple of the thief.
Next, kowtow to the patriarch, kowtow to the master, kowtow to the master, and then patiently listened to a few words of advice from Kong Yan, Xu Hui and others, and the ceremony officially ended.
Three years after leaving the school, to serve the sect, steal something, assigned by the sect, pay a monthly reward of silver, there is no fixed amount of silver, Mengshan is a hundred taels per month, it is a lot of money, and the annual income of ordinary people in the Taiwu Dynasty is only about two hundred taels.
After three years, it is free to roam, but every year to the door to pay homage, this is by heart, because always walk by the river, it is inevitable that there will be a time to stumble, if you are caught by the government, there is often filial piety, the sect will find a way to fish, if you are ungrateful, the sect will be left to fend for itself.
As soon as Zhang San came out of the school, he didn't have any tasks, so he wandered around the mountains, and Wu Liang asked him to wake up in the morning to prevent him from running to Fujian.
But Zhang San's heart has already flown away, Miss Lu can say a gentleman's word, how can he lose his trust, thinking of Lu Wan's heroic little face, his heart can't be calm, and Baoshengtang has a black heart, if he really wants to help Miss Lu steal the medicine, it is also a great good deed.
The first three layers, Zhang Sanru obtained the treasure, and after grinding it carefully, he found that the first few layers were not too difficult to practice, but it took some time.
However, there are indeed some doorways in this footwork, and in summary, it is not an ordinary road, and it is really elusive without illustrations.
After practicing for a few days, Zhang San has already had his first glimpse of the doorway, and with the help of the wind, it is not inferior to ordinary horsepower.
With this reliance, Zhang San became a little more courageous, and on the day of the appointment with Lu Wan, Zhang San left a letter to Wu Liang with a lame sentence, not mentioning Fujian, only saying that he was going to go to the rivers and lakes.
When Wu Liang saw the letter jumping and scolding, Zhang San had already gone south side by side with Lu Wan.
It is said that they go south side by side, in fact, they are clearly distinguished, the two of them each ride a horse, and each of them walks on one side of a Yangguan Road, and they do not enter the forest, they detour the road when they encounter water, and they see the store and hit the tip, and they stay overnight at night, and they eat and live differently.
From Shandong to Fujian, there are two roads to go, but the boat is slower, and the horseback riding is twice as fast, so both of them chose to ride a horse.
In view of Zhang Sancai's identity as a flower thief, Lu Wan has always kept a distance from him, but he is always respectful and always has a straight face when he asks for others.
Zhang San also kept in mind Tian Boguang's advice, it is okay to pick flowers, but to leave people mercilessly, he suffered a small loss in Chen Ning before, and he can't be fooled again.
Therefore, Zhang San was even more indifferent than Lu Wan, and he never moved his hands and feet or tried to get close, which made Lu Wan a little curious about this little thief.
"Are you really the descendant of Xiao Li's flying knife?"
"No, I'm Xiao Zhang Feidao. ”
"What have you stolen before?"
"You are the most noble, and it is my first mission!"
"Phew!"
There are still not many common topics between the daughters of wealthy families and thieves, and the occasional conversation ends quickly.
All the way through Huai'an, go to Yangzhou, spring breeze ten miles, to cross Suzhou, to Jiaxing Mansion is already half of the trip, the two Xiaoxing overnight, only took three and a half days, it can be said to be very fast.
Zhang San also discovered the greatness of this Miss Lu, no matter how she ran around, she didn't shout tired, she ate coarse tea and light rice, and lived in a rural farmhouse, except for the noble temperament that was inadvertently revealed, she was no different from a woman in the rivers and lakes.
Senior brother once said that a bitch like a woman from a good family is the most profitable, and a woman from a good family like a bitch is the most pleasing, Zhang San wants to add at this time, like a rich daughter of a woman in the rivers and lakes is more attractive.
The only bad thing is the shortcomings of the waves, it is better to push the swing for her that little girl, a smile, every move with a young coquettish, if he has the opportunity one day, it should be a while.
"This Jiaxing Mansion is the hometown of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan!"
Zhang San sighed! He didn't walk around much in the rivers and lakes, and he grew up listening to stories told by Wu Liang and Tian Boguang since he was a child, and he was extremely yearning for the deeds of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan.
"There are many heroes in the market, and the martial arts of the Seven Heroes are not high, but they do not hesitate to go to the desert for more than ten years, which is admirable!" Lu Wan answered.
Zhang San nodded and said, "That's right, they can all renew their promises, and Miss must be a person who counts what he says." ”
Lu Wan immediately covered her face with frost, "I'll talk about it when you get the dry lotus." When he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang San with his spare eyes, not handsome, but not ugly, he looked a year or two younger than himself, he was a flower thief at such a young age, and if he didn't learn well, if he really got the dry lotus, would he lose his body to him?
As soon as he said that the first task of the division was himself, is it still... Phew, what do you think!
Lu Wan rode away, and Zhang San followed, compared to horsemanship, he was far inferior to Miss Lu.
After Jiaxing, it is Shaoxing, and then through Taizhou, it is to the territory of Fujian, after the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, this trip is all the way to the south, after arriving in Wenzhou Mansion, both of them have changed a set of clothes.
Zhang San is a short fight in Tsing Yi, and Lu Wan changed into a slightly simple green shirt, which is elegant and beautiful, and it seems that this girl has a soft spot for green.
The head office of Baoshengtang is in Putian, Putian also has a considerable status in the martial arts, because the "Linquan Temple" is here, the Linquan Temple is also the South Shaolin that the people in the rivers and lakes say, and its thirty-six rooms are famous in the rivers and lakes, and it is the holy place of the southern school of martial arts.
The reason why the main store of Baoshengtang is located here is because Lin Baosheng is originally from Putian, and he is also a lay disciple of Southern Shaolin.
